Don’t Try Second Guessing a Crow

The Top Bird Trumpingtons are getting very competitive, with tales of a swan in a garden, crows and pheasants descending en masse, and a guillemot that was mistaken for a penguin.

With spring in full bloom, the Top Bird Trumpingtons are getting very competitive. To quote one listener: β€œI see your swan in the garden, and I raise you a wren on a balcony.” Crows and pheasants are descending en masse, but the story of a guillemot that was mistaken for a penguin might take some beating.

Pub quizzes are also on the agenda, with tales of cheats, sore losers and a sage barfly. Marti Pellow and Billy Idol pop up in dreams. And Liza’s playlist is characteristically varied, with a cracking tune from Betty LaVette, a little bit of pop genius from Fountains of Wayne, an invigorating shot of Department S, and a beautifully produced record from Irma Thomas.
